| Peter & Lavinie |

Two bohemians who enjoy Latin music and dance tremendously.
From ballet backgrounds, these two ventured into Dancesport (ie. the Cha Cha Cha, Rhumba, Samba Jive and Paso Doble) whilst at university and have been a very successful competition pair winning many championship titles in the process. After getting their law degrees and their Masters, they've since given up on the corporate world to live la vida loca.
Crazy, right? Apart from dancing, Peter's occasionally busy with his opera and musical productions and Lavi is busy with her new baby! |

Corporate climber by day, bootylicious mama by night! Has been an active Dancesport competitor since her days in England and has never looked back since. Into anything Latin, she is now concentrating on the pulsating rhythms and moves of Latin American- style Salsa... although she still loves her Cha Cha Cha, Rhumba & Samba, and will take on a good Jive or Paso anytime... |
